So i just bought myself a Series 2 gtst and for some reason even when my stock boost gauge is only hitting the first line above the 0 line it pops its guts out. This only happens before about 4-5000rpm. After that it seems fine... :/

Is there any specific thing that could be making this happen

Cheers

+1 to boost leaks.

+1 to missfiring, all of them cause that issue. Change your plugs ( might as well gap the. At .8 while your replacing ) and just dble check airlines, cooler piping and check to make sure the previous owner actually has the right lines from actuator and turbo.

i have a turbosmart tee piece, r33 gtr sidemount, and a 3 inch system. Nothing major. I replumbed the controller from the actuator to the intake pipe myself with new vacuum line just to make sure. If i i turn the boost down it doesnt happen as bad. Ill try replacing the piping from the turbo right through.

Have just bought some bcpr6es plugs. gapped to .8 im putting them in this afternoon. should be helpful i hope :D

I have a similar issue to this, don't want to start a new thread about it though.

I bought my Skyline about a month and a half ago, drove like a dream. It had yellow jackets, FMIC, pod, cat back exhaust (punched cat). I put a JJR 3" bellmouth dump on it and a turbosmart boost tee. Drove nice on 11psi, then a few weeks ago i started it up and it was missing at 4500+ rpm.

So far I have replaced plugs, gapped to .8mm, running actuator pressure boost and cleaned the AFM. Still misfires, seems to happen more in 2nd and 3rd gear. It also has a leaking turbo-dump gasket, thinking the dump flange isn't straight as I put a genuine Nissan one on it

Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Running boost off the actuator pressure it still hits about 9psi, and I have checked the coil packs already, although one had a spring that had less tension than others.

Its ur coilpacks

If I increase my boost, will it lean my mixture?

Possibly. Depends how much boost and if ur tune has been done on higher boost.

The yellow jackets fail All the time. If u have any stock coil packs that work u can diagnose which one is the issue.

yeah dan, i might drop into the dyno and get it done right. get it tuned to 12psi and leave it. im even planning on selling the blitz kit that i have on the car and just fitting the stock pipe back in and using the stock bov. i like the flutter sound better anyway :D

Just thought id update,

got my splitfire coilpacks today, fitted em, misfire gone. I now am of the opinion that Yellow Jackets are cheap for a reason (they are shit). A guy at Just Jap told me the other week that they got their JJR Coil Packs from the same factory and they ended up binning them rather than selling em cause they had so many fail.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
